<para>Due to the experimental nature of the current book, the host must be
running at <emphasis>least</emphasis> a 2.6.2 kernel. The reasons for this high
requirement is the use of NPTL, but more importantly the use of udev. Udev
creates devices dynamically by reading from the <systemitem class="filesystem">sysfs</systemitem> file system. Only very
running at <emphasis>least</emphasis> a 2.6.2 kernel compiled with gcc-3.0 or
higher. There are two main reasons for the high requirement. Firstly, we make
use of the Native Posix Threading Library (NPTL) whose testsuite will segfault
if the host's kernel hasn't been compiled with gcc-3.0 or later. Secondly, the
2.6.2 or later version of the kernel is required for the use of udev. Udev
creates devices dynamically by reading from the
<systemitem class="filesystem">sysfs</systemitem> file system. Only very
recently has support for this file system been implemented in most of the kernel
drivers, however. We must be sure that all the critical system devices get
created properly.</para>
